J U D G M E N T

The petitioners are aggrieved by the non-inclusion of their names in Ext.P2 voters list.

The petitioners would be entitled to seek the remedies available under the Act. But, however, no interdiction of the election is possible especially since, the petitioners have not even approached the electoral officer with an objection in the time specified in the notification.

The writ petition is dismissed with the above observation.
